Chapter 8: The Ghost Mist
At this time, when He Lei and Chongyi heard what Xu Du said, they eagerly walked to the window and looked out, only to see a thick fog floating over in the distance like a beast, and on the periphery of the fog, it kept changing into the faces of men, women and children, and all kinds of cries and howls sounded from the thick fog, which made people's hearts. In the opposite house, the middle-aged woman Ma Chen saw in the afternoon was hugging the pale child, muttering something, and the child's face was getting paler and paler, and outside the window, the thick fog had covered the room.
A gray and transparent, rotten enough to see bones of the necromancer floated around, and finally landed in front of the room of the middle-aged woman and the child, he raised his head, and the sound of his neck cracking, but he didn't care, he still stared at their window, after staring for a few seconds, the necromancer's hands and feet were on the wall, and it crawled quickly on the wall like a gecko, it quickly crawled towards the window, and the two people in the room heard the sound and looked at the window, but the expressions of the two were completely different, the middle-aged woman was completely only afraid, and the child's face was only cold。
Knock, knock, knock......
The sound of impact sounded from outside, the woman was so frightened that she opened her mouth to pray, but the child's eyes suddenly widened, he struggled to break free from the woman's embrace, the woman wanted to hold the child again, but the child's body exuded cold, she couldn't get close to the child, she could only watch him walk to the window step by step, the dead spirit outside the house seemed to sense the child coming, stopped hitting the window with its head, but it was still lying on the window.
The window door was pushed open suddenly, the dead spirit drifted away without a trace, the pale child stood by the window, several hands composed of mist caressed the child's face, and at this time, heavy footsteps sounded in the distance, the woman looked out the window in horror, they have often heard footsteps recently, but no one has ever seen who the owner of the footsteps is, and no one dares to look at it, only afraid that it is themselves who will be killed. The voice became quieter and quieter, and the woman's heart lifted, completely forgetting that her child was still standing by the window.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and so did the howling outside, except for the woman's moans of fear, and in her eyes, now outside the window, was an eye bigger than the window, staring at the child standing by the window.
"Ahh The screams continued, and Ma Chen turned around and pushed away the people behind him and rushed out of the room, leaving three people looking at each other. While they were stunned, Ma Chen had already rushed into the thick fog, he knew that his screams were coming from the other side, he ignored the dead spirits floating past him, and walked forward, but now he felt like walking in a muddy swamp, moving more and more slowly.
"Xu Du, follow me!" He Lei said to Xu Du, picked up the long sword leaning against the wall, turned around and walked to the door, Xu Du answered and picked up the giant sword and followed him.
He Lei hurriedly walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, stopped and reached out to take out a bag of things, threw it to Chongyi, who was still standing by the window, and turned around and left without saying anything, Chongyi caught the money bag, glanced at the heavy money bag in his hand, sighed, and crossed his arms to look at the thick fog outside the window.
"Such a large necromantic aura, you will be completely lost in it if you go in directly, prince, wait a minute, my shield has a magic enchantment attached to it. Xu Du waved the cloak on his back, took out a silver shield from behind him, he held the silver shield in front of him, and after reciting a spell in his mouth, he walked into the thick fog in front of He Lei. As soon as he entered the dense fog, Xu Du's shield immediately shone with golden light, exactly the same as when he fought with Heavy Wing before.
"With such a strong air current, how many people died back then?" As soon as Xu Du walked into the dense fog, he felt a super strong resistance, if it weren't for the fact that he was also very strong, I am afraid that this air flow would have taken him somewhere.
"People from all over the world gathered here back then, it may feel very uncomfortable, especially you, Xu Du, you are a paladin, they have a lot of rejection of you, wait a minute, I'll find out where Ma Chen's breath is, and then we'll go." He Lei said and picked up the necklace around his neck, this necklace was given to him by his father, in order not to leave any of his subordinates behind in the war, he asked the dwarves to make this induction necklace and countless rings, this necklace can echo those rings. Looking at this necklace, He Lei felt a sadness in his heart, his subordinates were now only Ma Chen, and the rest were lying in the small city that had been annihilated.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Ma Chen shouted and walked to the opposite side, although there was a lot of resistance, he still saw the outline of a house, he was in a hurry, he took a step and squeezed in front of the house, held the house in his hand and gasped, pulled out his sword and split the door open, and walked in.
Ma Chen gasped and looked at the extremely dark room, those voices appeared in his ears again, all the time around his head, Ma Chen stretched out his hand and waved, those voices were a lot quieter, and then his eyes also adapted to the darkness and saw the stairs. Ma Chen ran up the stairs, but he didn't see anything when he ran upstairs, no one and no dead spirits, but the attic windows were wide open, and there were all kinds of people shouting outside.
Ma Chen looked at the window, there was no gray and white from the dense fog outside, some were just orange from the firelight, the sound was getting louder and louder, Ma Chen walked to the window a few steps and looked out, he couldn't help but be stunned in place, there was a small town outside, many people in different armor were fighting, there were flames and corpses everywhere, Ma Chen had never seen this kind of scene, he knew it was war, but he didn't understand why he was allowed to see this.
The sound of frightened inhalation sounded next to him, Ma Chen turned his head to look, a child was sitting in the corner, his eyes were staring straight at him, Ma Chen stretched out his hand to grab the child, but there was a footstep sound under his feet, Ma Chen was shocked, looked down, a body passed through behind him, Ma Chen looked up at the figure.
"Black and gold heavy armor!" Ma Chen noticed the armor on the man's body, which was very familiar, and then the man spoke: "Are you afraid, are you desperate?"
The child didn't speak, and looked at the tall man in front of him in a daze, the man stretched out his hand in front of him, not knowing what he had done, but then Ma Chen saw that he was holding a mask in his hand.
"Do you believe in the angels, do you believe that they will come to your rescue?" the man continued.
"Are you?" the child did not seem to be very frightened, and did not tremble when he asked, but looked at the man with bright eyes.
"I'm not, you're so. The man said and put on the mask again, stretched out his hand, the child seemed to be infected by his words, stretched out his small palm, when the child's palm touched the man's palm, countless howls sounded outside the window, frightened Ma Chen turned his head to look, only to see that among the corpses that had died tragically, a gray and transparent human form seeped out, and then turned into mist and floated here, seeing those mist floating, Ma Chen consciously let go aside.
The fog kept circling around the child, turning faster and faster, and finally enveloping the child, turning into a white fog giant more than four meters high, and it was constantly getting bigger and taller, the house gradually could not support his weight and height, and began to collapse, Ma Chen realized that this place was very dangerous, and ran to the first floor according to the same way, rushing to the door.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Ma Chen fell into the thick fog again, and his surroundings also fell into silence, Ma Chen looked back at the house sharply, but it was empty behind him, and nothing seemed to have appeared.
"Ma Chen, are you there?" He Lei's voice sounded not far away, and Ma Chen calmed down at this time, what did he do, was he killing himself? Thinking of this, he hurriedly responded to He Lei.
A burst of golden light appeared, and the two figures walked over from the thick fog, and the dense fog dispersed a little where they walked, but as soon as they walked over, the thick fog immediately covered the place they walked through, and He Lei saw that Ma Chen was safe and sound, put away his necklace, and praised the god of luck in his heart.
"We have to leave immediately, I may not be able to hold it anymore, the rejection here is getting stronger and stronger, how can this be!" Xu Du said through gritted teeth, now he felt like he was using up all his strength with every step.
"Then let's go. He Lei said and turned around and was about to leave, but a strange sound suddenly sounded next to them, and the three of them looked up at the same time, only to see that the dense fog above their heads instantly dispersed, and a white giant was in front of their eyes, and above their heads was a huge eyeball, which was staring at the three of them at this time.
"That kid!" Ma Chen muttered, his eyes looking at one part of the giant's body, and the other two followed his line of sight and saw a pale child in the palm of the giant's hand.
After staring at a few people for a while, the giant suddenly waved his hand and swept over, He Lei took the lead in dodging backwards, and Xu Du also recited a spell and grabbed Ma Chen and jumped a short distance. The giant's palm, which didn't hurt anyone, plunged into the ground, leaving the three of them stunned.
Finding that the three of them dodged its attack, the giant pulled out his hand, and I don't know which part made a strange sound, and countless cries sounded in the thick fog, as if in response to the giant's strange cry, the three of them felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder at the same time, and turned their heads to look, only to see one gray and white necromancer after another appear in the thick fog, they all opened their mouths wide, their heads raised slightly upward, and their rotten eyes stared at the giant.
Looking at these undead spirits who looked up at the giants but were approaching, the three of them couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in their hearts, not to mention being shot to death by the giants, just these dead spirits, they couldn't break through. Can they only wait here to die?
No, for Xu Du, the answer is no, he handed the shield to his left hand, his right hand took the giant sword from behind his back and inserted it on the ground, then he held the shield in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right hand, he lowered his head, and he slowly resisted the hilt of the sword.
"No, you can't use this trick!" He Lei saw Xu Du's appearance and knew what magic Xu Du was going to use.
"There's no way, prince, after you leave here tomorrow, go to Firta City, and look for Ruoerjin at the shallow water dock, I've already paid the money, and he will take you out to sea!"
"No, don't use holy light magic, you'll die, Xu Du!" He Lei pushed Xu Du, but Xu Du couldn't be shaken like a stone statue.
"Hit Tuo Ott, Mo Shu Ga Zero, Ka Tuo, Yi ......" Xu Du read aloud the Holy Light Magic, which is a magic specially prepared for paladins, once you get into trouble or are captured and defeated by the demon, you can use this magic to destroy the demon and yourself, but this can only be used at the end, and now for Xu Du, it is the last.
"Well, fart, save your last words for a duel with me, big man!" A familiar voice sounded, and a burst of black mist suddenly rushed into the group of necromancers, who disappeared without a trace, but the giant was still there, but there was no action.
"Hurry up, otherwise those ashes will lose their effect after a while, and we will be finished, it doesn't matter if you are finished, I am still young. Heavy Wing waved his hand again, and the black mist swayed out of him, lightening the fog around them a little.
Xu Du's originally glowing body dimmed, and he didn't dare to waste any more time, so he immediately pulled out the giant sword, holding the giant sword and shield, so that the giant sword and shield all exuded golden light. Probably because of the black fog, the dense fog that had spread out a lot was washed away by the golden light, and the four of them also saw the location of the inn.
The four of them walked in the direction of the inn, but the fog seemed to know their intentions, and the howl sounded from a distance, and if you looked down from the sky at this time, you could see that the thick fog on the outskirts of the town was squeezing inward.
"Hurry up, run out, hurry. Heavy Tsubasa shouted, his hand reaching for a gray bag, pulling out the gray powder and spilling it out, his fingers already able to touch the bag's leathery texture.
"How much is left, Heavy Wing?" asked He Lei as he looked back at Heavy Wing, whose hand was still fumbling in the bag.
"It's over!" Heavy Wing stretched his hand out of the bag, his hand empty, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.
